Abstract
The lipid metabolism of domesticated birds has been studied by altering their diet to increase the amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the triglycerides and decrease the total cholesterol in the blood and yolk, which is used for human consumption. The Cairina moschata domestica species can be used to produce meat and eggs. The animals were raised at Vereda Morro Gordo, El Remanso Farm, located in the municipality of Manizales (Colombia), at 1800 m above sea level (23 °C). A total of 79 creole ducks (37 females and 42 males) were raised for 6 months and put under a 12 hours-of-light regime. Several methods to determine the lipid profile in this species were examined: two for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and three for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). All the reagents belonged to BioSystems S.A. laboratories, from Barcelona, Spain. Assays were carried out in the RAYTO
RT-1904C device, a semiautomatic chemistry analyser. In both cases the direct determination method is recommended; however, TAG levels should not exceed the maximum permitted by manufacturing laboratories. Females showed hypertriglyceridemia when compared to males. There are statistically significant differences as per sex in the values of HDL-cholesterol, LDLcholesterol, and triglycerides, but not in the total cholesterol values.
